Tsuzuru's Role Study: Wizard of the East

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Tsuzuru	Aahhh.. Coffee is great..
Izumi	Thank you for the new script, Tsuzuru.
Tsuzuru	I'm glad to hear that it's alright.
Sakuya	It's really good!
	It has wizards and some flying monkeys, too!
Chikage	Familiars, I guess is what they would be called.
Tsuzuru	Yeah, the flying monkeys work for the Wizard of the West after all, but for me, the Wizard of the East, doesn't own any kind of familiars.
Itaru	Why don't we make one then?
Chikage	That might actually be fun.
Citron	Yes! Let us all make familiars!
Tsuzuru	Including them in the play will prove to be hard at this point, but if it's for fun then why not?
Sakuya	What types animals make good familiars?
Izumi	Traditionally, most familiars are crows or owls. Oh, and of course, cats as well.
Sakuya	A cat for a familiar would be cute!
Masumi	I'll be your familiar..
Izumi	I don't think that's our point right now!
Itaru	How about King Kong? A little too big?
Chikage	Maybe goblins would better in size.
Tsuzuru	Where even is this conversation going with you two..?
Citron	Juliano shall be my familiar!
Izumi	Who's "Juliano"?
Citron	He is the leopard I own back in my home country.
Tsuzuru	You have a leopard?!
Itaru	That's sort of difficult to believe, But then again, we ARE talking about Citron.
Sakuya	That's so cool, Citron!
Kamekichi	Didn't mean to eavesdrop, but i can't help meself!
Izumi	Kamekichi..?
Masumi	I guess we already have a familiar after all.
Kamekichi	That's me!
Itaru	You want to try being on stage, Kamekichi?
Sakuya	When I first arrived here, Kamekichi and I performed a play! He memorized the lines and everything!
Izumi	Ah, yes, I remember that time.
Chikage	It IS quite impressive that he knows how to speak.
Tsuzuru	You have a point..
Kamekichi	I want 1000 grains of rice for payment, by the way.
Izumi	..rice?
Chikage	I guess it's some sort of bird money.
Kamekichi	If you turn it into human money, it would be enough to buy a new TV!
Masumi	That would be a lot of money..
Kamekichi	I'll be luxurious lunch, dinner and some dessert while we're rehearsing! And of course, I want to be in middle of the poster too!
Itaru	A familiar as the center of the poster? LOL
Tsuzuru	There's no way we're letting that happen!
Izumi	Yeah, what Tsuzuru said.
Kamekichi	What?! Why?!
